on a clipper? My goomer said not to use any less than a #7 on Buddy's back.
Reading about grooming tells you different #'s to use on what, however,
my clipper, Andis, does not have different blades but adjusts to different
heights with no indication as to what they are. There are also several different combs that do have different sizes on them. I am at a total loss on how to use these. Do certain clippers come with different blades?
I just paid $60.00 for this clipper but don't understand how to use it properly.
Did I buy the wrong clippers?
I need help in this area. I ordered a dvd on grooming but I know it is going
to talk about blade sizes. Anyone have an Andis? Can you help me?
